	   I have read on comp.sys.atari.st that NeWs has been ported on Atari
   ST. Is it a joke  ? 

   If no, where can I have informations about this product? 

   Thanks in advance.

Yes, NeWS has been ported to the Atari ST by Mitch Bradley at Sun, and
it was being demonstrated at the Sun Users Group meeting in Washington
at the beginning of last October. The Atari ST was running the NeWS
server, and the clients were running on a Sun to which it was
connected via a serial line. As far as I know, it was an internal
"proof of concept" port of an earlier version, and was used to weed
out Unix dependancies. I don't think the port of NeWS that was being
shown on the Atari at SUG is a product, however, but that doesn't mean
that there isn't somebody else doing such a port. I'd be very
interested in hearing from people who are working on such things.
